General scheduling properties
Scheduling all cameras
When you configure general scheduling and archiving (see "Configure general scheduling and
archiving" on page 125), you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. Either in
order to speed up things, or because the properties in question are shared by all cameras rather than
being specific to individual cameras.
Note that you can specify the properties for Online Period, Speedup, Notifications (Email and
SMS), and PTZ Patrolling individually for each camera.
Properties available for all XProtect software versions:
Name Description
Template
The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. Say
you have 20 cameras and you want to change the recording path,
archiving path, and retention time for all of them. Instead of having
to enter the same three pieces of information 20 times, you can
simply enter them once in the template, and then apply the template
to the 20 cameras with only two clicks.
Apply Template
Select which cameras you want to apply the template for. Use one
of the two Set buttons to actually apply the template.
Camera
The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as
in clients.
Online
Select the required profile (for example Always on) for the online
schedule (see "Configure camera-specific schedules" on page 65)
for the relevant camera(s).
You specify a camera's online periods by creating schedule profiles
based on:

Periods of time (example: Mondays from 08.30 until 17.45),
shown in pink:

Events within periods of time (example: from Event A occurs
until Event B occurs Mondays from 08.30 until 17.45),
shown in yellow:
The two options can be combined , but they cannot
overlap in time.
E-mail
Select the required profile for the e-mail notification schedule (see
"E-mail notification" on page 130) for the camera(s) in question.
You specify a camera's e-mail notification periods by creating
schedule profiles based on periods of time (example: Mondays from
08.30 until 17.45), shown in blue:
